I,Robot Cabinet

I,Robot was actually produced in cabinets that were left over from Firefox's production run. I guess Atari overestimated the demand for Firefox, they certainly did for I,Robot! Firefox was a less-than-popular and fantastically unreliable laserdisc game, but its cabinet suited I,Robot well. If you look closely at an I,Robot cabinet you will notice the bottom the the cabinet is completely empty! This is where Firefox's LD player would have been. Also notice that black metal plate just below the control panel, Firefox had a headphone jack with a volume control mounted there.. Other than artwork the cabinets are exactly the same. The cabinet can actually be taken apart fairly easily, and the "head" is simply bolted on. In fact, the head is actually shared with another Atari game's cabinet: Major Havoc.
